Sharp lustrous metallic crystals makes this top specimen of Skutterudite most beautiful and unique.  Some pearly white Calcite is intergrown between crystals.  Although most Skutterudite are uninteresting in form, several localities have produced sharp, lustrous crystals that are striking in aesthetics like this one.

The Bou Azer District, Morocco, produces the best examples of Skutterudite, in large, lustrous crystals, often in a cuboctadral shape.  Skutterudite may partially alter to pink Erythrite. Skutterudite is named after its type locality of Skutterud, Norway. 

This specimen is in very good condition. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Smithsonite can occur in a variety of colors, including white, grey, blue, green, pink, brown, and yellow. Its coloration is often influenced by impurities present during its formation. The crystals can be transparent to translucent, with a vitreous to pearly luster.  It commonly occurs as botryoidal (rounded, globular masses resembling a bunch of grapes) or reniform (kidney-shaped) aggregates. It can also form crusts, stalactites, and stalagmites.  Significant deposits of smithsonite have been found in various countries, including the United States, Mexico, Australia, Namibia, Greece, and China.

Quartz is a power gemstone that harmonizes and balances. It enhances energy and thoughts as well as purifying the spiritual, mental and physical. Quartz is associated with the crown chakra.

Quartz is among the most abundant and well-known minerals on Earth. It belongs to the hexagonal crystal system, and typically forms six-sided prismatic crystals with a pointed termination. Its crystals can be colorless or exhibit a wide range of colors. The color variations are often due to the presence of impurities or trace elements during the crystal's formation. 

Smoky quartz is often associated with grounding, protection, and transformation.  It is believe to have properties that help to dissipate negative energy and promote a sense of calm.
